To attainl'the purpose fthe 'prese the lattenseeks to-'providea nozzle ing a runwa brdadlbl an appropriate dischar portioriedwithrespect to t charge end asjtofca'use the m dam p in rear or tneeiscnargeenriso as toiiiej" by he air, and thereby form an inter nal conicalsandiiozzle with its converging point outside of the discharge end of the nozzle structure. Thus, the "vena contracta or converging area is outside the discharge opening of the nozzle structure, and not within the bore of the latter, avoiding wear on the nozzle due to the diverging of the abrasive from the converging area and the expansion and rebound against the sides of the nozzle. i l

Furthermore, by the form and arrangement of nozzle contemplated by the present invention economy of use of expensive metal alloys in the construction of the nozzle may be effected, thus enabling the employment of high-resistance alloys in the manufacture of the nozzle andprolonging the life of the nozzles over those formed of low-resistance metals solely.

Other objects of the invention will appear as the nature of the improvements is better understood, the invention consisting substantially in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illuspointed out in the appended claims.

and resting against the flat outer end of the discharge head 12, is a pair of flat closure disks 20. The flange 18 bears against these disks and, when the cap 16 is screwed upon the head 12, said flange clamps the disks 20 in firm contact-with the flat. face of the discharge head 12. Each of the disks 20 is provided with a centrally-disposed opening 21 surrounded by a countersunk portion 22. The

countersunk portions cooperate to form an annular recess about the openings 21 in which is positioned a perforated disk nozzle 23.

The disks 20 may be formed of any suitable material, such as cold-rolled steel, but the disk nozzle 23 is formed of a metal alloy of such character, as to givehigh resistance to the abrasive agent or et toithe accompanying draw-, ighatesthe nozzle holderl r nged diametrically; thereby faces of the disks 20 in which the countersunk portions 22 are formed abut each other, and these a supplypipe orhose-bywhich the" I thethreaded"end' flitisienlarged tofl.

The disk nozzle 23 is loosely received in the recess formedbetween the disks 20 so as to be readily removable therefrom, and replaceable by a new v thejdis'k nozzle 23, may bereadil v y required! The nozzle "avoidsjthe frequent re one in the event that replacement is required.

, The disks 20 also are removable from the nozzle :structure, the only securing means being the follower'cap 16 and its flange 18 in clamping cooperation with the head 12.

With the parts assembled as illustrated in Fig.

1, it isv apparent that a distinct chamber,,such as designated by the numeral 13," is formed at the interior of the nozzle holder adjacent-to the disks 20. In the passage of the sand or other abrasive material the disks 20 cause the sand to dam up":

in the chamber 13. As the rair penetrates the sand, in order to escape through thejperforated disk nozzle 23, a conical nozzlelofihesand or.

other abrasive will be formed within the cham-' ber 13, as conventionally illustrated at. 24 in Fig.

2. A nozzle for-use in a sand blast machine,

comprising a body'portion having a chamber at its discharge end and an opening in communication with said chamber, a plurality of closure disks arranged over said opening, said disks having aligned openings in communication with said chamber, a removable perforated disk nozzle arranged between said closure disks at the opens ings thereof, and means for holding said disks in engagement with the body portion to close the opening thereof which is in communication with the chamber of the head, said closure disks causing theabrasive material to form itself into an internalnozzle within the body portion and at the discharge end of the nozzle and thereby to locate the converging point beyond the discharge end of the nozzle;
